LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TutorMe, the online
tutoring solution of the future, announced today that after a
nationwide call for applicants, the team selected Racine Unified
School District (RUSD) in Wisconsin to receive $100,000 worth of tutoring services. This
donation provides the students of Racine Unified free 24/7 access
to live tutors in more than 300 subjects to support learning
recovery from school closures and remote learning due to the
pandemic as well as address existing learning gaps.
According to Janell Decker, the
deputy chief academic officer, some RUSD students are entering high
school behind in reading and math, especially after the past year
and a half, with so much disruption to the educational environment.
RUSD is looking for additional resources and supports to ensure all
students are on track. Instead of taking up state-mandated
instructional time for added interventions, Decker said, "TutorMe
can easily be incorporated into various times during and outside
the school day, so this will help us tremendously!"
TutorMe's network of more than 15,000 tutors will help address
learning losses due to school closures and other disruptions during
the past academic year. Participating schools in RUSD have received
implementation support to get their staff and students comfortable
with the TutorMe platform, which students will access via
Chromebooks provided by the district.
"At a time when the quality of students' education can depend on
their financial resources, I am honored to offer on-demand academic
support to students who need and deserve a level playing field,"
said Myles Hunter, co-founder and
CEO of TutorMe. "With many families facing economic difficulties
and other trauma, Racine Unified is going the extra mile to support
its community. TutorMe is proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with
these devoted educators and administrators."
Decker concluded, "We're deeply grateful for this donation. Our
students deserve the best, and after all the disruptions we've seen
over the past 18 months, access to TutorMe will help them learn
both in and out of the classroom. We look forward to implementing
it during study halls, station rotations, and after school to meet
our students where they are and get them where we want them to
be."
Racine Unified students can access TutorMe through ClassLink. To
